MAP Kinase Signaling System

MAP-kinassignalsystem

Svensk definition

Ett intracellulärt signalsystem som omfattar MAP-kinaskaskaderna (trestegs-proteinkinaskaskader). Olika uppströmsaktivatorer, som svarar på extracellulära stimuli, utlöser kaskaderna genom att aktivera den första kaskadmedlemmen, MAP-kinaskinaskinas (MAPKKK). I detta steg fosforyleras mitogenaktiverade proteinkinaskinaser (MAPKK), som i sin tur fosforylerar mitogenaktiverade proteinkinaser (MAPK). Dessa utövar sedan sin verkan på olika mål nedströms till att påverka genuttryck. Hos däggdjur finns det flera bestämda MAP-kinasförlopp, inklusive ERK-processen (extracellulärt signalreglerat kinas), SAPK/JNK-förloppet (stressaktiverat proteinkinas/c-jun) och P38-kinasprocessen. De olika förloppen har vissa gemensamma komponenter, beroende på vilket stimulus som utlöser kaskaden.

Engelsk definition

An intracellular signaling system involving the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades (three-membered protein kinase cascades). Various upstream activators, which act in response to extracellular stimuli, trigger the cascades by activating the first member of a cascade, MAP KINASE KINASE KINASES; (MAPKKKs). Activated MAPKKKs phosphorylate MITOGEN-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASE KINASES which in turn phosphorylate the MITOGEN-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASES; (MAPKs). The MAPKs then act on various downstream targets to affect gene expression. In mammals, there are several distinct MAP kinase pathways including the ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) pathway, the SAPK/JNK (stress-activated protein kinase/c-jun kinase) pathway, and the p38 kinase pathway. There is some sharing of components among the pathways depending on which stimulus originates activation of the cascade.
